The Midnight Gospel is an animated series created by Pendleton Ward (the creator of Adventure Time) and Duncan Trussell (a comedian and podcast host). Each episode features the main character, Clancy, who travels through various universes in his space simulator, interviewing beings from different planets about their philosophies of life and death.
In season 1 episode 3, titled "Hunters Without a Home," Clancy visits a world where the inhabitants are all hunter-gatherers, living in small tribes and surviving on what they can find in the forest. Clancy meets a group of hunters who are searching for a new home, as their current location is running low on resources. They take him on a hunt for a mythical creature they believe will lead them to a more abundant land.
The episode explores themes of community, resource scarcity, and the human desire to find meaning and purpose in life. As Clancy talks to the hunters and witnesses their way of life, he begins to question the nature of progress and whether modern civilization has lost touch with the natural world.
Throughout the episode, Clancy and the hunters encounter various obstacles and challenges, including dangerous creatures and treacherous terrain. Along the way, Clancy learns more about their culture and customs, as well as their hopes and fears for the future.
As with the other episodes of The Midnight Gospel, "Hunters Without a Home" is visually stunning and features a range of surreal and psychedelic moments. The animation style is reminiscent of classic cartoons like Adventure Time, with bright colors and quirky character designs.
Overall, this episode is a thought-provoking exploration of human nature and the quest for survival. It combines humor and heart with deep philosophical questions, making it a standout entry in the series.
